[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 88114, member: 393"] What a nightmare. I hope this situations straightens itself out soon. Do you have an advocate to help you? My GPs physicians assistant is my advocate. She & her nurse run interference, set up the appts, especially when referrals are necessary & call weekly to make sure things are running smoothly. She has become the point person for the numerous doctors treating me & for information that husband & I need as well. She brings it all down to my level when needed. Susie, I asked her if she would help me because I could no longer do it. I'm learning when I cannot do something because of my physical issues to ask for help. It's been a humbling experience but one I've needed to learn. Find yourself and advocate somewhere in all those doctors you're seeing. There needs to be a point person who has a clue as to what's going on with you; who's prescribing what medication & what test, along with the results. It's in your best interest. [/QUOTE]
